The Orioles BikeCage (bikecage.ca) is planning to start up a monthly womens night...
If you're unfamiliar with the Cage, it's a community run bicycle repair shop where cyclists of all abilities can go and learn how to repair their bike using recycled parts. There's no cost (except for the odd new part you may need) and it's open to everyone.
I personally am trying to get this up and running but we're having some trouble getting one or two women who know how to repair bikes who are willing to come out once a month to help others. We will get there, but the more women we can let know hopefully the more who are able to help out!
